Chapter 23: Only I Can Help Mom (Ask for Recommendation Votes!)
Du Feiqi was startled, but quickly reacted that it was her own mobile phone that made the sound.
She pulled out her phone and looked at the caller ID.
Dr. Liu.
Du Feiqi bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and pressed answer.
"Xiao Du, I'm Dr. Liu. Have you eaten it?"
The image of Dr. Liu came to Du Yuanqi's mind: a chubby middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a white coat that was stretched out in a stunning arc at the belly area, his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled, almost three chins, and his face seemed to have sweat that could never be wiped clean, and he wore thick spectacle lenses, looking honest and amiable. When he speaks, he likes to comb his thinning hair with his fingers.
Taken together, it gives the impression of two words: greasy.
"Hello Dr. Liu, I have already eaten. Du Feiqi hurriedly greeted.
"Xiao Du, that's right," Dr. Liu's voice was kind and kind, "I want to tell you that your mother's hospitalization fee for last month has not been paid, and then this month's hospitalization fee should also be settled.
Du Yuanqi bit her lip and begged, "Wait a few more days, Dr. Liu, I don't have enough money now!"
Dr. Liu sighed: "Xiao Du, Xiao Du, I didn't force you, but what, our nursing home is not a public welfare organization after all, and we have to pay for our own profits and losses." I'm still sympathetic to your family's situation, and if I were the dean, I could have given you some fee waivers and more time. But, I'm just a little director, so it's hard to help you!"
Du Yuanqi only felt that her nose was sour, and some salty liquid was about to gush out of her eyes. She quickly rubbed her eyes and continued to beg: "Dr. Liu, please help, wait a few more days, wait for the New Year, I will definitely make enough money after the New Year!"
The other party thought for a moment, "Okay, then wait for the New Year." However, if you still don't get the money after the New Year, I have no choice but to ask you to take your mother back!"
"I know, I have a way, and I'll get the money soon!"
After hanging up the phone, Du Feiqi stayed in place for a while, and before she knew it, she was already in tears.
When the cold wind blew, the tears became cold.
"Mom......" Du Feiqi lowered her head to wipe away her tears and walked blankly.
In the past few days, she asked her second brother Du Caige for pocket money three times, and she got a total of 600 yuan; last semester, she saved 1,120 yuan by saving money by helping her classmates copy homework; as for the money she earns from part-time work, she can only get 40 yuan when she works 2 hours a day. 30 days a month, it is only 1200 yuan, and it is not a daily settlement, and it will be settled at the end of the month.
The mother's monthly hospitalization fee, nursing fee plus the cost of maintaining basic treatment is at least more than 6,200 yuan.
Sometimes, my mother's condition deteriorates and she has to use some more expensive medicines, and the cost will increase significantly.
With such a big gap, she didn't know what to do.
She had secretly sold all her mother's jewelry, and the money from the sale had been sustained until last month. And now, there is really no way to continue.
Thinking of this, Du Feiqi felt hatred in her heart.
The second brother is obviously so rich, but he is unwilling to take care of his mother. Although Mom did a lot of things wrong at the beginning, you can't do the same!
Du Feiqi kicked the small stone on the side of the road hard.
The small stone rumbled away, and Du Feiqi's anger subsided a little.
Mom.
Mom is a well-known beauty, and when she was younger, she was recognized as the first beauty among the faculty and family members of the Magic Capital Conservatory.
But her character and three views ...... It's really a big problem.
Admiration for vanity, praise for the high and low, money first, hypocrisy...... It can be said that it is a typical three-view error.
As soon as there is a quarrel, it is a storm, scolding the street like a shrew.
Dad is recognized as good-natured, talented, considerate and sincere, and it is said that when he was young, he was the dream lover of countless beautiful girls.
When he got married, I don't know how many people were heartbroken.
Later, his ex-wife died of illness and still had an oil bottle, but there were still many beautiful women who wanted to marry him, but they were finally robbed by their mother.
Even in his forties and fifties, there are often beautiful female students who try their best to throw themselves into their arms, but my father is an upright person, does not give others any chances, and never gossips.
When she was in elementary school, Du Yuanqi saw several times with her own eyes that beautiful female students came to the door, and under the pretext of asking for advice, she gave her father all kinds of names and hints, and her father unceremoniously refused on the spot.
is such a good-natured and decent father, but many times he said that he couldn't stand his mother and wanted a divorce.
Generally, parents quarrel, and children mostly side with their mothers.
But in the Du family, most of the reasons for the parents' quarrels were the mother's unreasonable trouble, and in the process of quarreling, it was always the father who lowered his head and smoked, and endured it in silence, while the mother's mouth soared out of a sharp high voice, and all kinds of foul language that were difficult to hear burst out at the speed of machine gun fire.
Faced with such a situation, the three children of the Du family often sympathize with their father and hate their mother.
Du Mu is really a person who is difficult to deal with and difficult to like.
Du Yuanqi knows very well that the eldest brother and the second brother don't like their mother,
Even she herself hates her mother more often and likes it less.
Mom is bossy, unreasonable, and harsh, and has almost no advantages except for beauty......
But anyway, she's a mom.
No matter what mistakes she made or what nasty things she did, the second brother shouldn't ignore her.
It's normal for the eldest brother to hate his mother, after all, he is not born to his mother, he is the child of his father's ex-wife.
But the second brother was born to his mother.
Although mom does a lot of things wrong...... But who in the family doesn't know that she loves you so much?
Albeit...... Du Feiqi vaguely knew that her father's death was related to her mother. The second brother ignored his mother because of this.
But Mom didn't mean to hurt Dad.
Dad's heart was already in trouble, and after "that incident" happened, he was angry several times, and then unfortunately went on the way to the hospital. My mother was also stimulated, and she washed her face with tears all day long, muttering to herself, and listening closer, all she could hear her mother saying was self-reproach.
When she gets out of control, she also slaps herself hard until her cheeks are high and swollen.
Soon after, she went insane.
In Du Yuanqi's view, although her mother had made a big mistake, even if she was wrong in a thousand ways, she had already atoned for herself.
Even though my mother used to be a very annoying person, she is now just a gray-haired, withered little old lady, with a slightly hunched back and gloomy eyes. Crazy and incoherent.
How hateful she was in the past, how pitiful she looks now.
Now, the eldest brother is still in prison, and the second brother ignores his mother.
Only I can help my mother.
No matter what, you have to think of a way to raise money as soon as possible to renew your mother's hospitalization fee.
You can't really let your mother get kicked out of the nursing home.
